Its expected of blogs like this for there to be an explanatory post. So here it is.
I'm Luke, I'm 23 and I live and work in and near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. I live with my girlfriend Lydia. Since we started dating we've both had an interest in vegetarian and vegan food.
While at university I gained an interest in environmentalism and green issues but for the most part just took interest and didn't act upon it. When I started dating Lyd I've had a greater interest in green issues (For want of a better term) but also a greater desire to act on these interests.
Now that I firstly have a source of income as well as independence (After being unemployed and living with my parents for a year) I'm slowly starting to act on ideas and wants and one of these is to start living a vegan lifestyle. In short I think its a firstly not wanting a part in the poor way animals are treated in mass production of foods. The second and possibly greater thing is my inner economist (I studied it at university) wanting to cut the amount of resources I use and lessen my impact on the environment.
Anyway . This blog will be a place for Lyd and I to discuss issues we face, encounter and have opinions on that relate to veganism and occasional green-ness as well as a place to share recipes and dishes we make.
I hope I do this intro post justice.
